Tranquilize (feat. Lou Reed)

Time it tells, livin' in my home town

Wedding bells, they begin easy

Live it down, baby, don't talk that much

Baby knows that baby don't tease me

In the park, we could go walkin'

Drown in the dark or we could go sailin'

On the sea

Always here, always on time, close call

Was it love, or was it just easy?

Money talks when people need shoes and socks

Steady boys, I'm thinkin' she needs me

I was just sippin' on somethin' sweet

I don't need political process

I got this feelin' that they're gonna break down the door

I got this feelin' that they're gonna come back for more

See I was thinkin' that I lost my mind

But it's been gettin' to me all this time

And it don't stop draggin' me down

Silently, reflection turns my world to stone

Patiently, correction leaves us all alone

And sometimes I'm a travel man

But tonight this engine's failing

And I still hear the children playin'

Kick the can, kick the can, skip, and blackjack

Steal a car and ring around rosie

Rock and roll, Candy Land, boogeyman

Run away and give me your sneakers

Acid rain, when Abel looked up at Cain

We began the weepin' and wailing

A hurry high from pestilence, pills, and pride

It's a shame, we could've gone sailin'

But Heaven knows, Heaven knows everything, tranquilize

I got this feelin' that they're gonna break down the door

I got this feelin' that they're gonna come back for more

See I was thinkin' that I lost my mind

But it's been gettin' to me all this time

And it don't stop draggin' me down

Silently, reflection turns my world to stone

Patiently, correction leaves us all alone

And sometimes I'm a travel man

But tonight this engine's failin'

And I still hear the children playing

Deadbeat dancers come to us and stay

'Cause I don't care where you been

And I don't care what you seen

We're the ones who still believe

And we're lookin' for a page

In that lifeless book of hope

Where a dream might help you cope

With the Bushes and the bombs

Uh-huh, tranquilize
